Photocatalytically active composite for wastewater treatment

The increasing occurrence of micropollutants in water sources presents a serious threat to both the environment and human health. Conventional wastewater treatment plants often fail to effectively remove these substances at low concentrations, leading to their release and accumulation in the environment. The search for efficient and environmentally friendly technologies capable of degrading these contaminants is therefore becoming increasingly urgent. The aim of this work is the preparation, characterization, and testing of new photocatalytically active materials based on biochar containing titanium dioxide (TiO₂/AC). The photocatalytic properties of the prepared materials will be evaluated during the degradation

Required education and skills:

• Master degree in chemistry or environmental studies;
• systematic and creative approach to work;
• conscientious and proactive approach, analytical thinking
• independence and team work ability.
